Abstract: | A series of experiments investigated masculine response potential in normal BDF1 female mice and in females who had been injected with 100 μg of testosterone propionate on the day of birth. Sixty-five percent of BDF1 females mounted females in estrus; ovariectomy lowered this response potential while injections of TP in adulthood raised masculine RP in both ovariectomized and intact females. Neonatally androgenized females with or without TP in adulthood exhibited the full range of masculine responses including the ejaculatory reflex. Comparisons of elements of sexual behavior are made between neonatally androgenized females and normal males. |
